Retirement can be exciting for a couple of years, then it can become boring. If you retire from something, retire to something. There may even come a time when you miss those SOB's you had to work with. That "let's get together and do lunch sometime" with old work friends generally doesn't occur. :-)

So how many retire close to or at 50? That's my plan. My family tree starts shedding branches real quick after 60 so I don't plan on going a day past when I'm elligible. I feel that I've paid my dues and then some and would like to live a little on "my" terms before it's lights out. Anything can happen but as of now, I get out of prison in just over 3 years. As all my clients say....... "you'll never see me again", I'm actually gonna mean it!

Retirement is all about pre-planning when you're young if feasible and practical. Priorities first, even though that can be tough to put things in prospective and aside. :-)

Graduations to you; had my party 9 mouths ago never looked back.

Well right now i have 100 projects to do i know that they wont all get done . But i like to dream they will. My son needs help with his small business. so that will keep me busy most of the time . Ive never been a couch potato always another project to do .

Woot Woot !!
Anything that keeps the brain and body busy is a great way to retire.
Congrats and enjoy !!

Congrats!! Get ready for every day to go by as fast as the weekend days did!!!

Way to go!!! Mine started the end of April after 35 years with USDA. Great summer. Appendix and a broken wrist from a farming accident, slowed my fall and winter activities. It really cut down on trapping. I still went deer hunting. I'm glad I was retired as slow as feeding cows went with one hand i don't think I could have got it all done after work

If you have plenty to do you will love it. Farming fishing hunting trapping maintaining a house and lake cabin are plenty for me.

Congrats!...21 more months and I'll be free.

Congratulations to you. Enjoy

Congrats !! Line up a bunch of Projects.

Congrates,sounds like you have it figured out. I only work for six months out of the year and am ready to go back to work each spring. We are all different and that makes life great.

Beautiful! I wish you well and many years of enjoyment.

Congratulations, you will love it!!

Congratulations! This is an excellent plan-Family time mixed with Your time
